American Fork Canyon is an ideal "natural laboratory" for our
students. We maintain sampling sites along the main branch of the
river. We have a number of Rapid Bioassessment samples from various
sites along the river for a number of years. We frequently also sample
these areas with Malaise traps and Lindren funnels. We often take
Biology 100 (non-majors) and lab members to the Canyon to demonstrate
aquatic sampling.
